About Robotics and Embodied Intelligence Lab

To provide an interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, and multidisciplinary learning environment beyond traditional education, and to prepare our students to become future-ready educators and high-calibre talents who can integrate theory and practice, the University is committed to enhancing the development of artificial intelligence and digital competencies among students and staff.

This will be achieved through promoting innovative learning and teaching, human-centred AI for learning and teaching enhancement, embracing innovation and change in the digital age, and supporting changes to educational practices within the University community.

Drawing on its extensive experience and commitment to promoting AI and digital competency, the Centre for Learning, Teaching and Technology (LTTC) proposes the establishment of a University-level Robotics and Embodied Intelligence Laboratory (REI Lab).

This initiative aims to enhance students’ digital skills, cultivate problem-solving abilities, and foster creativity and innovation in robotics and AI. The REI Lab will serve as a collaborative space for developing, testing, and deploying embodied AI solutions, thereby equipping students with advanced competencies and practical problem-solving practices.

The REI Lab will emphasise the integration of cutting-edge AI with physical robotic systems to tackle real-world challenges, advance AI education, and explore innovative applications in human-robot collaboration.

It will enable teachers and students to experiment with state-of-the-art technologies, including educational and industrial robots, drones, and 3D printing pipelines. By aligning with broader educational objectives, the REI Lab will empower students and educators to create innovative teaching and learning strategies, integrating AI and robotics to prepare future-ready professionals.
